After collecting 10 Maille Lizardman Talons, return to Blacksmith Pinter. He will ask you to choose which type of Clan Oath armor you want to receive.

4) Choose Your Armor Type

You must choose one of three armor types. This choice determines both the final reward and the amount of D-Grade Crystals your Sponsor must provide.

• Light Armor: requires 771 D-Grade Crystals
• Robe Armor: requires 771 D-Grade Crystals

5) Get Help from Your Sponsor

Summary

To Lead and Be Led is a Clan Academy quest focused on cooperation between an Academy member and their Sponsor. The Academy member collects Maille Lizardman Talons and Araneid King's Fangs, while the Sponsor provides the required D-Grade Crystals and must stay nearby during key quest steps.

This quest is one of the two possible Clan Oath armor quests. You can choose this quest or The Leader and the Follower, but you cannot complete both on the same character.
